I was recommended to Dr. Wali after having hemerrhoid issues for several years. Honestly, I want to say that he was so very thorough with my concerns, and went above and beyond to make sure I got an ultrasound, and colonoscopy to ensure I had no serious issues (family has a history of digestive disease, and cancer). Dr. Wali was always willing to answer any questions, and was always very thorough in his findings, and concerns. I really want to thank Dr. Wali for not just disregarding my health issues, and ensuring he did everything to make sure I was ok. He is a great doctor and I would highly highly recommend him to family and friends! Most doctors will just push you off to the side, and write you a prescription, but Dr. Wali makes sure that he identifies the cause! Super grateful! Dr. Wali knows what he is doing! Great guy too! read more

The office was so crowded that people were standing up against the wall. Why the overbooking? The office is old and unattractive. They didn't have water for patients although we were experiencing a heat wave. He told me I needed an operation but didn't explain anything to me. I sensed he was in a hurry. I called the insurance and got another surgeon. read more

Office manager Sandra is so completely incompetent indifferent rude and short. I cannot believe the Dr would have someone with her demeanor and attitude as the face in the forefront of his business. Not only did she FORDGE the Dr. signature on a PRESCRIPTION RX PAD for my husbands " sick note, " but she also asked IF my husband ( the patient ) KNOWS how to ask questions. She also wanted to differ my husband and I to a different dr because and I quote " I ask the same questions so she doesn't have time" is just so completely WRONG. The dr comes in and says two words to the patient and leaves. Was late to surgery. Overheard nurses speaking on his shortcomings. Today is my husbands post op day 1. I called office to ask what type of stitches he has and if they are dissolvable, no one could answer my question. High key concerned that not even the dr. Knew because not only did he not do them but he also left no note as to what he did. Just one phone call after surgery to let me know it went well and that it was sticky and to do a post opp app.... Literally so shocked at this level of care. I would not have filed a medical complaint if Sandra Rojas knew how to be a human being and not treat patients as she sees them. She clearly thinks of us as idiots and was surprised I advocate for my family. I will and always am going to do that that is my right and responsibility and I would hope she would learn hers as well sooner rather than later. Also every licensed dr under the medical board MUST have their certificate in plain sight for patients should they have questions or concerns with their care under their Dr. along with their license number. Sandra Rojas failed to provide that also. She is clueless condescending heartless and disuseful in this office and has no business being in this field. I will write an update for you folks when I receive a docket # from the board. But yes, absolutely DO NOT COME HERE. read more

This place was horrible. The waiting room was crowded and no place to sit. People were standing and waiting to be seen. The waiting room was hot. Patients were sweating as I wal in. I had to tell the receptionist to turn on the AC They overbooked the appointments for the same hour. I should have checked the reviews before heading out to the office. My advice to you is STAY AWAY from this place. I would have given minus stars if I could. read more

He got rid of ny stoma love the work that he did on me ty dr.. the oooo and staff is awesome love u girls especially aka bear lol she's funny and gorgeous:) read more

This office is the worst! Request a different physician for your needs. This office has no communication skills whatsoever they are in it to get your deductible and then not update you in hope your referral expires so the don't have to do any work. This office will see you for about five minutes and refer you out to other procedures before they could do anything. Then they will not update you or inform you regarding the findings of those procedure referrals. Also when you call them to inquire they will be rude and unhelpful, making you believe you didn't do your part. I requested another physician because this one cannot do any expectations that are within reason. Also this physician is only as good as his staff which is below standard.... read more

I scheduled a consultation appointment with Dr. Wali and that is the furthest it went. The receptionist and staff were all nice and professional but my main concerns are with Dr. Wali himself. In the waiting room, I sat next to a woman in excruciating pain. She told me she did two major surgeries by Dr. Wali in ONE MONTH and showed me her surgery pictures on her phone which looked gruesome. When I first met him, I was taken aback by how much older he looked. I'm not an ageist, but I found out online that he is 79 years old (I do not know if this is accurate) and I believe a person in that age range should not be doing surgery for multiple reasons. When Dr. Wali found out he was the third surgeon I had scheduled a consultation with he was adamant on finding out the names of the two other surgeons. I at first said I could not remember their names and he literally kept asking and waiting until I could find and give him the names of these surgeons. I remember thinking, "why is this so important?" He just wanted to know if he knew them... that's why he kept asking. He spent more time taking about these surgeons than about me and my concerns. Also, as he took down notes with his right hand, I noticed he used his left hand to BLOCK MY VIEW. He literally used his left hand to block and hide what he was writing from my viewpoint which was a red flag for me. Then he asked to check my stomach so I had to pull up my shirt. Just for your information, I am very overweight and keep my pants buttoned over my stomach but he was the first doctor to ever ask me to pull my pants down until my entire stomach was out. What offended me was that he waited until my stomach was completely out and he was poking and touching me to tell me "you need to loose weight." Um.... I'm sorry but I'm like over 300 pounds... it's pretty fucking obvious that I need to lose weight. He could have discussed this with me from the very beginning. He then wanted to do another procedure from what I was originally there for which I thought was weird. His front office said they would call me the next morning to schedule my first procedure but instead they called me almost a month later. Regardless, I went home and had a bad feeling about him. I then decided to look him up online and found at least 5 different websites, plus Yelp, giving him very poor and low reviews. I booked a consultation with a 4th surgeon a week later, and got a much better and more positive experience with a surgeon with super high ratings online (all 5 stars, on different websites). And I'm booked for surgery next week. I feel completely at peace and feel like I dodged a bullet with this surgeon! read more

Four stars because the doctor and one staff member. The doctors is supposedly the best and I can say after emergency surgery that I had no issues after and felt way better. I was really happy that he squeezed me in because it was a lot and the doctor in my network refused to see me even though it was an emergency. Bad though on the fact that the office manager could not take the 35 minutes I was on hold to answer me and simply email me a copy of my receipts. I ended up hanging up. They said emailing me a copy won't be easy. read more

Took my son to this doctor was not impressed it was no seat in the waiting room it look like he was over booked and this doctor talks over you not to you was not very satisfied we spent more time waiting to be seen then time in the exam room with the doctor his bedside manor has a lot to be desired read more

I should of read about this place before dealing with this horrible place. The place is dirty. The doctor will not give you a referral to your procedures until you go in for more check ups. The doctor and office management staff only care about your money. He is also unprofessional. He will try to ask to poke around other parts of your body, when I simply went there for something nowhere near what he was asking to see-- Declined!!! read more

This is for his office staff! Please DON'T schedule 20patients at the same time. This is a horrible experience to wait an average of 1-2hr before we can be seen by the doctor . We came to the office and there was more than 20 people in here, and of course there was not enough chairs to seat. We couldn't even find a place to stand!!!! read more

The first time I ever met doctor Autar K Wali (10 months ago) he was very rude and didn't even want to look at the knot under my arm which they thought could be breast cancer. I left his office upset because of how he was talking to me, I went back a few weeks ago under a new doctor to talk about gallstones. i just got my gallbladder removed on Oct 26 when he saw me,he didn't say nothing to me the only person that made me feel comfortable & told me not to be scared was the anesthesiologist the day of the surgery. Another problem I had with him was my appointment surgery was for 12pm on Friday and night before surgery I got a call telling me it was changed to 2pm, when I got there they told me it was moved to 4pm. After my last appointment with him I really hope I don't have to ever see him again read more

See all

If you care about your health and safety please don't go to this Doctor. His office is pure filth and his ethics are as low as they come. He should be prosecuted for insurance fraud. I went to him for a simple procedure and he made a huge deal over it to collect more insurance money. He told me he would only make 60 dollars from my surgery and said I would probably have a bad scar afterwards. After 4 visits to this Doctor I decided not to have him do my procedure. He didn't seem confident and his motive was all about how much money he was going to make. I had the procedure done elsewhere by a professional in one visit and have no scar. I'm going to pursue a complaint against Wali with blue cross and the medical board. I'm so glad I didn't let this guy mutilate me. On a positive note his staff was very nice and they deserve to work in a clean office with a professional Doctor. I'm sure he pays them crap. read more

This one is the worst doctor office ever. Every time I go, I had been waiting sooooo long (more than 1 hour) to see him for about 10 minutes. This kind of service makes me so sick. If this situation keeps happening, then this office should be closed down. read more

Best surgeon I've had in my life! He is my life saver. Took my cancer out and helped me with a 10 year battle of Ulcerative colitis. Had my surgeries done and still come to have my check up with him. Despite of the outlook of the office people come in and out of there with wheelchairs and other walking devices that may mark up the walls. But like they say Dont Judge the Book by its cover. The Staff is awesome Tina and Vicky are great with everyone. They truly show compassion towards patients. I have been coming to this office for 5 years. Nothing bad to say about them. read more

I'm very happy with Doctor Walk and staff. They are very professional. They take their time to get to know you in a personal basis and care for you as a patient. The doctor is so sweet and kind and obviously very well educated and knowledgeable with many years of experience. For your medical needs needing this kind of surgeon please take your time and see Doctor Wali in Pomona! Simply the best! read more

This office is very rude. I spoke with Vikki and she put me on hold several times!! and acted like she did not want to help me what SO ever!! I highly reccommend never going to this office. Especially if you come in contact with Vikki!! read more

DO NOT GO TO THIS DR if COMPASSION & CARING IS WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR!!!!! This mf'er totally disrespected my mother.. He wouldn't answer any of her questions & when asked about what lab tests were being ordered he simply snapped back it was in the paperwork(!) but wouldn't explain what they were for. WHAT A QUACK... Doooooooo not go here unless a rude, unprofessional Dr is what you're looking for. -5***** STARS read more

Rude, not helpful and acted like he was doing me a favor. ( which he did tell me about three times during my "exam") I called my primary doctor back and told him I will not be going back there. The office is very dirty, felt like I was in a third world country. I can't believe this place is in business. read more

I am sure I will have more to comment about. I have no complaints regarding staff. They are nice and answered my calls on time. But my 2 visits here I waited over an hour after my appointment time and then waited 15 more minutes in room for the doctor. I plan to have surgery with home for my gallbladder. I pray it goes well. read more

His office is overcrowded. Over scheduled. Staff is not organized. My mom checked in and they said oh ok we will call you. I asked my mom, did they even get your name? She had to go up a second time to make sure they know who she is. There is no sign in sheet. There are people standing up because he's overbooked.We waited over 2 hours to see him for literally 3 minutes. It was just a follow up for colonoscopy. He wrote his SOAP(medical term) notes the whole time he was taking to my mom, maybe just 3 eye contacts that lasted seconds. When SOAP notes done, we were done. I gave 2 stars because the doctor is really nice. They just need to learn some time management. read more

Great surgeon! Just had a partial lumpectomy on my breast in order to get out the cancerous lump.. He is a great surgeon and explained everything and answered all of our questions.. Highly reccomend... the staff is also extremely helpful and they try and work with our schedule in order to book appointments.. they are extremely accommodating.. We had the best experience all around. read more

I've been seeing Dr Wali as my surgeon for the last 20 years I highly recommend him he is compassionate caring phenomenal and very professional he has done several surgeries for me and all a success. read more

Loved Dr. Wali. He spent time answering my questions and really made me comfortable to go forward with surgery with him...

HORRIBLE! Staff is incompetent. Not professional. Their front desk receptionist can be very rude, along with their office manager. Vicki the MA is the nicest! The Dr himself is super blunt to the point but becomes bothered when you start asking questions. read more

If I could give them a 0 star rating I would. I had to reschedule my appointment numerous times because they failed to give me accurate information. They called me 30 minutes before my appointment telling me that I couldn't see the doctor if I didn't have an authorization. Never in my life have I ever heard someone call 30 minutes BEFORE an appointment to tell me that I didn't have my paperwork. They should have made it clear when scheduling the appointment that I needed to bring something or needed an authorization. On top of that, they were extremely rude telling me that they have to give me an appointment if I asked for it and the rest they won't care about it unless they need info from you, they will call last minute. I had to cancel our other appointment and reschedule because the people in the front desk don't know how to communicate. They can blame the patient all they want and say that it was my fault that I have to reschedule but know that I will not be returning ever! read more

RUDE!! I have never encountered such a rude health care "professional" in my life! He was so rude that I walked out. We also had to wait over an hour past our appointment time and just to make an appointment (over the phone) I was on hold for over ten mintues. I was patient with the hold time and patient with the wait time. I wouldn't have even mentioned it had Dr. Wali not been extremely rude. read more

I came to Dr. Wali after several attempts to resolve the issues I have been having for over 9 years. I have seen 4 other Doctors, two which were Surgeons who supposedly were "top of the line" Dr's in Las Vegas with these elaborate offices and this high tech this and that, whom were unsuccessful in resolving the issue even after several surgeries. Then along came Dr. Wali, small office, small staff, not a huge presentation, but a huge passion for his career and taking care of and solving the problem at hand, which is actually the most important issue to me than an office staff member being a little "gabby or chatty" like some of the reviews say, and they don't overbook either, Dr. Wali likes to help and tries to fit everybody in before his surgeries that day, very busy man (people are always going to complain about something their just miserable anyways). Tina was great and ALWAYS scheduled my appointments at a perfect time considering I live over an hour away, only had to wait a few minutes and she also greeted me with (Butterfinger Cups)! The very, very most important part of all of this is my surgery experience. Dr. Wali's staff was prompt, efficient, professional, organized, from the nurses, the anesthesiologists, to the after care, everything ran smooth and comfortable and effectively. I just wanted to say thank you to Dr. Wali sooo very much for taking care of this long ongoing pain in my ass (literally). I am not in agony and suffering anymore, and my quality of life is back in order thanks to you Dr. Keep up the great work and God Bless!! :) read more

Worst doctors office I have ever been to. Got a call the night before my pre-op, (after having waited months for my problem) and got told that they have to postpone my operation for till next month. This is ridiculous. Utterly ridiculous. Not to mention the office is small, and extremely over crowded whenever one goes there. read more

The DIRTIEST most unprofessional office ever!! Waited for over an hour past my appt time to come to find out that they didn't have my authorization. Probably a blessing in disguise because the waiting area was soo dirty along with the house party music coming from front desk just wreaked UNPROFESSIONAL!! read more

This got to be the worse office that exists! The staffs are ignorant to phone calls and are hostile to patients when they're checking in. When I was siting in the office, clearly they were "free" and were chit-chatting. One of the girl picked up the phone and put it on hold for about 15min while she was just chitchatting with the other ladies. Also, the Doctor shows a lack of care and management. read more

every visit $35 co pay and i still have the mass right on my neck. requesting to go some where else. this place is ALWAYS PACK so be ready to wait 2 hrs in the waiting room and 30 mins or so in the room. WHY OVER CROWD APPOINTMENTS SLOTS? waiting room is tiny and to get crowded. The front office needs to be CLEAN paper work all over the place. then again is POMONA what should I expect . read more

Dr Wali is extremely rude and does not listen. I had a tumor removed from my breast/chest wall. As I was going into surgery, the anesthesiologist wanted to wait for me to show Dr. Wali were the tumor was so he could mark the exact location before putting me under. As I began pointing to the location of the tumor, Dr. Wali ignored me completely and abruptly marked my entire right breast shoulder as the surgical site. He did not speak to me after the surgery and discharged me with no medication. I was in incredible pain following the surgery which was done on Friday late afternoon. I called the doctor on Saturday to discuss my pain level and concerns I had about the wound. Again I was ignored and told to take Tylenol. I called the office on Monday to schedule a follow up appointment which I was suppose to have within one week. I was told the Dr was leaving that night for a 3 week vacation so I'd have to come in that afternoon, which I did. I confronted Dr. Wali in detail about my concerns (bruising, swelling, stiches popping inside, were mussels cut? pain,etc.) I kept asking him "Why?" in regards to these issues. He said nothing. Finally, I said, "You don't remember me, do you?" He shook his head "No." It had been less than 3 days. He prescribed me medication for pain and said he wanted to see me in 3 weeks when he returned. Two weeks later, blood began oozing from the stitches. I called the office and was given the name of another surgeon (Morteza Sajadian, MD) covering for Dr. Wali. Knowing something was wrong, I called Dr. Sajadian's office for consult and obtained my medical records from Dr. Wali's surgery. I discovered that Dr. Wali had CUT ME IN THE WRONG SPOT closed that wound and CUT ME AGAIN DEEPER to remove a very large tumor. The entire procedure took him 15 minutes. A few days later I was admitted through ER for exploratory surgery and opened back up by Dr. Sajadian. He spent over an hour cleaning up the mess. I had a tube put in my chest wall which drained the excess blood into a bag I wore outside my chest for about 10 days. He followed up with me every day in the hospital, explained what was happening, answered my questions, and genuinely cared. He continues to follow me through my healing. I'm so grateful that he was on-call. Dr. Wali acted more like a butcher than a surgeon. BE CAREFUL !! read more
